Driven by the current political climate, “Tremendous” connects individual stories of the female experience to the spectrum of social injustices and an extraordinary need for unity. Noworol and her five dancers expose shared vulnerabilities and defense mechanisms while reckoning with divergent histories. Can we be distilled to only one of our defining characteristics? How do we choose which parts of us to defend when oppressed from several angles? Can we unify selectively? The work entwines contemporary dance, tanztheater and spoken word in an emotionally salient and politically driven visual space.
